Greta Thunberg, a young citizen of Sweden, delivers a speech during the opening plenary session of the Youth4Climate summit in Milan, Italy. She describes commonly used English words and expressions of \u201cClimate Care\u201d as \u201cblah, blah, blah\u201d i.e. as deceitful, delusional and morally bankrupt.<br>Greta\u2019s \u201cblah, blah, blah\u201d speech reverberates around planet Earth and resonates in profound ways in many people. Deep in our guts we knows the truth she speaks. In my instance, it supports my growing belief this past two decades that the prevalence of \u201cEnergy Gobbledy-gook\u201d is a recipe for dystopia, an existential threat to Mankind\u2019s existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following week I visit the Surrealist Art exhibition at Te Papa Tongarewa (The Museum of New Zealand) and for the first time learn how the Dada movement arose in 1916 as a reaction to the crazy, horrific reality of industrialized slaughter and mayhem in Europe. It is said one band of French infantrymen (sent as reinforcements) baa-ed like lambs led to the slaughter, in futile protest, as they marched to the war front where 120,000 French perished in a few days.<br>Compassion arises in me with my sensation of the needless futility and scale of the suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBlah blah blah\u2026 Dada\u2026 Baa baa bah\u2026\u201d<br>Shades of familiarity, shivers of insight sweep over and through me: this is the language of \u201cEnergy Gobbledy-gook\u201d. This is the voice of the ego gone berserk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What can a man (human being) do and say? Words fail us for thought cannot transcend paradox and the ego thrives in this limited domain. And yet, as Confucius reminded us millennia ago, we are our language and it is our prime Civic duty to continuously rectify (correct) our use of words. He detailed how, without this care, all the frameworks sustaining our society perish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Questions arise :<br>\u201cHow might the voice of compassion prevail to complement the voice of the ego?\u201d<br>\u201c How might we better experience the qualities of compassion so they can inform our state of being so we can enjoy the spirit of science that enables us to develop all manner of sustaining arts, the skills of Civics?<br>\u201cHow can we better embrace the ego, which arises in any of moment of self-awareness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps there are no easy answers. Born of the division of consciousness, the ego thrives in division, conflict and alienation. Surely it is the almost limitless source of our greed, envy, fear and arrogance?<br>And the profound intermediary role the ego plays at the borders of our self-consciousness and our greater consciousness means it can subvert our finest intentions in the most incredible, ingenious ways.<br>Without compassion, the ego can easily have us speak and act in dissonant ways yet be oblivious to our nonsensical behaviour.<br>Without compassion, the ego can have us live in denial of the universal principles of physics. Without compassion, the ego can make any of us be our own worst enemy<br>Without compassion, the ego in some men (human beings) can destroy Mankind with as little as one word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is our experience of the wisdom and kind humour of compassion that sustains Mankind, whether as individuals or as societies.<br>Its kind humour enables us to perceive and forgive us our errors so we are better able to be in harmony with the universal flows and balances.<br>Its spirit of honest inquiry and inclusiveness enables us to embrace the ingenious delusions of the ego and live the reality of the principles of physics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, being mindful of the deceits and trickery of the ego, perhaps we can with compassion draw on the wisdom of the Conservation of Energy Principle, identify language founded in the ways of the universe and live its true meaning?<br>In so doing, we may also be able to identify and rectify language founded in the ego\u2019s denial of the ways of universal flux and cease to live the ego\u2019s nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is helpful to understand that all information is physical i.e. information is manifest as countless forms of energy. Each form of information, including a thought or a word, is a force &#8211; as are all forms of energy. Hence, like everything else, an form of information is subject to the principles of physics, including the Conservation Principle of Energy.<br>So any form informs all other forms in the continuous universal transformation even as it is informed by all. This is why any use of symbol simultaneously reflects and generates the state of being of its users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Information being physical, this means the inner truth of our ways is always out somehow in our language, in our use of symbols. Put simply, words matter and are matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These matters are best understood in compassion with its spirit of inclusiveness, humility and self-forgiveness.<br>The attached diagram illustrates one man\u2019s attempt to provide us with the skills to transcend the deceits and cravings of the ego.<br>In the picture, the voice of compassion speaks words given meaning by their inclusion of the Principles of physics. They communicate meaning that generates and reflects harmony in the lifestyle of the user.<br>The voice of the ego speaks words lacking such meaning because of their exclusion of this wisdom of the universe. They communicate meaning that generates and reflects disharmony in the lifestyle of the user. They conflate change with no change, up with down, user and used, energy with form of energy\u2026 In other words, the words make nonsense in terms of the physics of harmony (Civics and survival) and mean blah blah blah\u2026dada\u2026baa baa and all that is energy gobbledy-gook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference will soon be held in Glasgow on the British Isles. This is the 26th attempt to develop a global language expressing and enabling Mankind\u2019s care for Earth\u2019s atmosphere. All 25 previous conferences can be deemed failures in that they propagated the language of the ego and now Mankind is in grave peril from Human Ego-driven Climate Change. Perhaps this time the wisdom of Confucius will be acted on, compassion can prevail and members will speak with the true language of care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Script<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Voice of compassion<\/strong><br>No man (human being) knows what energy is despite our intimacy with its vitality.<br>Energy is the universal potential, all of which is active.<br>The Conservation of Energy Principle is great, enduring wisdom.<br>Energy is renewed, is sustained, is conserved, is resource, is bounteous, is a constant.<br>Energy is manifest in myriad, finite forms; no form is energy.<br>Information is physical: our actions~language are material.<br>A man (human being) can conserve, sustain, save vital sources and forms of energy.<br>There is a world of difference between an economy (an act or system of stewardship, frugality) and a dis-economy (an act or system of planned obsolescence, waste, pollution).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All things, all forms are a balance of continuous warming and cooling. Without this balance, the form is transformed i.e. ceases to exist.<br>Global warming and cooling is life enabling whereas global warming up\/cooling down is life threatening.<br>Climate change is the universal order whereas Human-induced (ego-driven) Climate Change is perilous.<br>Combustion equation: useful form of energy = fuel + air<br>Carbon is a common universal element, an vital building block of life. We abuse carbon flows and balances at our peril.<br>Without the inclusiveness of compassion, the exclusivity of the ego destroys us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Voice of the ego<\/strong><br>I know and say what energy is\u2026gobble.. energy sector\u2026dygook\u2026<br>Energy = Fossil Fuels = Power = Electricity gobbledygook galore and there is more\u2026 gobble\u2026renewable energy\u2026dy-\u2026sustainable energy\u2026gook 100% Clean\u2026gook Green\u2026gook Energy\u2026<br>So humans can\u2026 gobble\u2026conserve energy..dy-\u2026sustain energy\u2026gook\u2026 make renewable energy\u2026gook gook \u2026make non-renewable energy\u2026<br>Gobble\u2026 energy efficiency is\u2026gobble\u2026 about using less energy\u2026 dy-gook\u2026to avoid energy crises\u2026gook\u2026power failure\u2026 black out\u2026<br>Gobble\u2026Energy sector\u2026dy-\u2026Minister\/Secretary of Energy and Resources\u2026gook renewable resources \u2026gook gook\u2026 non-renewable resources\u2026<br>I live on Greenhouse Earth\u2026blahdy-blah ..too much greenhouse gases ..must fix it.. blahaha\u2026 the problem is climate change\u2026 blahdy-blah\u2026 temperature rising\u2026blahdy-\u2026gotta stop global warming\u2026blah blah \u2026carbon is the culprit\u2026blahdy-\u2026 must put a price on carbon\u2026 blah blah\u2026 make a carbon trading market\u2026blah\u2026sell carbon credits\u2026buy carbon offsets\u2026blahdy-blah\u2026become carbon neutral\u2026blah..carbon zero\u2026blahblah..post carbon\u2026 by 2000\u2026more blah blah\u2026by 2008\u2026 blah oh blah\u20262025\u2026blahdy-gook\u2026 2040\u2026<br>Just know: I (the ego) know all and am sufficient\u2026blahdy-energy gook blah<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>28th September 2021.
